Has anyone tried the c panty or bellefit? I am having my first c-section here in two weeks and I am trying to figure out what I need to help aide in the recovery. They are both expensive but I am willing to pay it out if it means an easier recovery.

Or is there anything else that works really well in the recovery process?

I bought a small because that's my pre-pregnancy size. So for the first few weeks I wear it support garment in medium. Once I've lost a pounds and my body isn't so sore I swish into the bellefit and wear that for awhile.

Not sure about those products, but I just had a c-section 7 weeks ago and didn't buy anything extra from what they gave me at the hospital. The hospital will have these "lovely" mesh undies to wear with gigantic pads since you'll still have lots of vaginal bleeding even with a c-section (they even let me bring some
extras home). You'll definitely want undies that are loose and come up high, because the incision will be very sensitive for a while. As for belly support, they also gave me an abdominal binder at the hospital. It's white with Velcro and kind of looks like a back brace. I'm sure they just tacked it onto my hospital bill somewhere, but I didn't pay for it separately. It will definitely flatten your tummy and give support, but is visible under clothes. I would definitely recommend it for the first week or two, because the extra support makes it easier to walk. Any bouncing/jiggling while walking after a c-section is definitely painful, but walking is also crucial for a quicker recovery. You may want something more flattering for postpartum slimming after those first couple of weeks. Undercover Mamma makes a cool nursing tank that clips onto nursing bras and even has a slimming version that may be a good option for you if you plan on nursing. Best of luck!

Not sure about those items but hospital provided me with a belly binder that helped loads. But tbh my insicion site was so sensitive for the first 3 weeks after baby I didn't want anything to touch it most days. I had little to no support after baby though and had to do alot on my own right away. Load up on the mesh undies those things are gold!

I would hold off and see how you feel before making any expensive purchases. I didn't feel like I needed any belly binders or anything else.. but some of the ladies on my birth club board swore by the bellefit. I had a super easy recovery (physically, anyway) and was fine with the mesh undies for a few days then back to my regular undies.
